Hi Frederika,
I think you need your WordPress „Reading“ settings once so it sets the htaccess file for your installation. Log into WordPress, go to options -> reading -> click save. Does it work afterwards?
Hi Frederika,
its me again 😉
You need to go to https://ostbergakarate.se/wp-admin/options-permalink.php
Select “Post name” for “Permalink structure”.
Click “Save changes”.
Does it work now?
Best,
P
Hello Paul,
Thanks a lot for the quick reply.
The site today uses ”Date and post-name” as permalink structure such as
https://ostbergakarate.se/2022/12/01/example/
For both of these URLs
https://ostbergakarate.se/1-december-2022/
https://ostbergakarate.se/2022/12/01/1-december-2022/
They both seem to redirect to this and that causes a 404-error.
https://ostbergakarate.se/advent-calendar/1-december-2022/
So I tried to change the permalink structure to be “post-name” such as
https://ostbergakarate.se/example/
After that change I revisit the calendar link to today’s post:
https://ostbergakarate.se/advent-calendar/1-december-2022/
And then that actually works!
So thanks for leading me in this way. However, I have the nagging feeling
that I did not really want to change the permalink structure of the website
to make the plugin work. Would it not be considered a bug in the plugin
that it somehow interferes with the permalink format?
I will need to think whetherI really want to do this change to the
site configuration just to use the plugin. On the positive side,
the change in permalink settingsseems not to break links to
earlier posts anyhow.
I would like to add video and text to the target page for each
day but I guessthat if I carefully read the existing instructions
for the plugin I can make that change.
Best regards
Fredrik
Hi Fredrika,
I tried with all permalink structure settings and all are working in my setup, so I assume it must be something with your server setup. You can also try to just save “post name” and then go back to the original setting, it may work then as well.
For your second question please open a new topic, its better to have one topic per request (small hint, you are right: the question is already answered in the plugin faqs).
Greets,
Paul
Hello again
I now tried to set the permalink setting back to the original setting I
had for the site. To my surprise, it still works to see yesterday’s and today’s
entries. I guess I will find out tomorrow if the publishing of the third entry
will again cause the 404-error or whether this toggling back and forth of permalink
settings cured the issue for the whole of the calendar.
I expect that „ this toggling back and forth of permalink
settings cured the issue for the whole of the calendar.“ did „the magic“ (creating the necessary htaccess file / settings in the background)
Thanks for updating tomorrow how it works out for you 🙂
